Baby Update- 6 Month Update

Baby Update

Anna turned 6 months yesterday!  I can’t believe that we are at the halfway point of her first year.  The biggest thing I learned with my first baby is that you really need to enjoy the first year and soak it all in because it flies by.  Read more

Baby Update- 5 Months

Baby 5 month update #babyupdate #5months

 Baby Update

Anna is 5 months and I can’t believe how quickly this year is flying by.  Anna continues to be the light of my 2020.  This month Anna has lived through her first Halloween and her first Presidential election.  Both events she didn’t seem to notice very much.  She’s such a happy little baby.  She is completely clueless about any of the drama that surrounds this year.  She’s just in her happy little baby world and I love it.

Baby Update 

Anna is now 4 months and I wish I could slow down the days.  I’m just trying to take it all in.  She’s rolling around everywhere and I know she is wanting to move around, but I’m hoping she will hold off long enough for us to baby proof the house.  I love her smiles.  She has the sweetest laugh and when she cries it’s like she just got her feelings hurt.  I know I’m her mom, but I think she’s the sweetest little girl ever.

My Last Baby + Anna’s Newborn Photos

October 7, 2020 by Katie Haller

Newborn photography #newbornphotography
I knew going into my pregnancy with Anna that it would be my last.  I always knew I only wanted 2 children.  I had ideally wanted a boy and a girl, but I always said that I would be happy with whatever God gave me.  Before we were married, Kevin and I talked about children.  He wanted no less than 1, no more than 2.  It was nice to know that we were both on the same page when it came to having a family.  When we found out at our ultrasound with Anna that we were having a girl we were thrilled.  A boy and a girl, it was what I had always wanted.  We were told we had the million-dollar family.  Read more

Babysense Video Monitor Review

September 28, 2020 by Katie Haller

Babysense video monitor review #babymonitor #babyvideomonitor

 As a parent, we are always concerned about the safety of our children, especially when they are babies.  From the moment they are born we start to worry.  When I brought my children home from the hospital, I didn’t want them to be far from me, especially at night.  It was important for my babies to sleep close to me in those first few months so that I could be sure they were safe.  I’d often find myself waking up in the middle of the night just to make sure that they were still breathing.  With Jack, I kept him in our room until he was 3 months old, then moved him into his own room to his crib.  His room was right next to our bedroom and I could hear him easily with the door opened.  I never registered for a baby monitor, because at the time we had a little one-story condo and I didn’t have a need for it.  The second-time-around with Anna, things are a little different.

5 Tips for Getting Your Body Back After Baby

After sharing your body with another human for 9 months, it’s only natural to want to get your body back after you have a baby.  For me, I didn’t enjoy my pregnant body.  I felt uncomfortable with it.  There were definitely times when I looked at myself in awe of what my body could do, but most of the time I just wanted to get back to my old self.  I’m much more comfortable with my postpartum body than I was with my pregnant body.  It’s not perfect, but I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.
